RHBA-2020:2180 - OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.5 bug fix update

Synopsis

OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.5 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.4.5 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.4.5. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:2179

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

  • Previously, the Cloud Credential Operator was bypassing security context constraints (SCC). This caused the Cloud Credential Operator to run with excess permissions that were not needed. This bug fix configures the Cloud Credential Operator to use SCC. (BZ#1807659)

  • Previously, the Samples Operator would send alerts about an invalid configuration or missing image pull secrets, even when it was bootstrapped as removed. However, a valid configuration or valid pull secrets are not required when the Operator is removed. This led to misleading alerts. Now the Samples Operator does not send alerts related to importing samples when it is bootstrapped as removed. (BZ#1814395)

  • Previously, cluster installations would fail when creating the master VMs when the vNIC profile did not match the network to which it belonged. This was fixed by adding a property to the install-config.yaml that allows you to specify the vNIC profile ID:

    platform: ovirt: vnicProfileID: <VNIC_PROFILE_ID>

    Now the profile ID specified in the install-config.yaml file is used when creating the master and worker VM network interfaces. (BZ#1820575)

  • Previously, a namespace was required for normal users to view Network In and Network Out metrics on the Pod Details page of the web console. A normal user could not view these metrics because a namespace was not supplied in this context. Now a namespace property is provided and normal users can view the Network In and Network Out metrics on the Pod Details page. (BZ#1821625)

  • The web console included slirp as an option when adding a NIC to a virtual machine, but slirp was not a valid NIC type. This option has been removed. (BZ#1828849)
